Thanks, but unfortunately my problem couldn't be solved in this way: I need
to check if the file which is accessed is svchost.exe and it is located in
correct folder. So I get a string "c:\winnt\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs"
and I have to say "yes, it is a valid svchost.exe process" and I have to say
"no", if, for example, I get "c:\someotherfolder\svchost.exe".

Surely I can pass this parameter from user-mode application when I start my
driver, but is it the easiest way to solve this problem?
